鯨世界賞鯨 (花蓮港) — Local services in Hualien City

With Whale World you can hope on a boat and they'll take you out to see dolphins and whales in the wild. The important thing to remember is the wild. There is no guarantee of what you'll see when you go out. It is possible to end up with a relaxing boat ride with only beautiful views of the shore in the distance. On my trip, we can into a ton of dolphins right when we left port and then for the last hour and a half of the trip we saw nothing.

Important things to remember is you need to sign up before hand, don't head straight to the harbor. They have a clean little office close to the harbor where they'll collect your info (bring your passport or ARC, they need it for insurance) I believe they have a little shuttle van from the office to the docks. Their website is unfortunately only in Chinese, but check it out for more...

I highly recommend booking a whale/dolphin watching tour with this company.

The tour guide was not only informative but also had a great sense of humor and enthusiasm while introducing the area to us. He went above and beyond to locate sea mammals for us and ensured we had the best vantage points for taking photos.

Overall, the experience was enjoyable for all, including the kids who had a fantastic time spotting these magnificent creatures and capturing...

Well organized tour which I bought via klook.

Pickup was smooth and although water was kind of rough, they really look hard for dolphins. It was an hour before we spotted a group of dolphins.

Luckily for their appearance, otherwise we would have gone back empty handed.

Probably better to come before November when water are less rough and chances of spotting...
